Reasons and Amounts of Supplements

Some US Government numbers (Recommended Dietry Allowance, RDA) are OK, many are very wrong. It should be called The Minimum for Survival, often far below the ideal for good health.
I will list my Suggested Daily Amount (SDA), which is my best "guess" based on my research.

Vitamin D3
A very important hormone.
Only those who work outside and use limited sunscreen will get enough.
Most people will be deficient.
The typical suggestion is 10,000IU per day, taken with an oily food to aid adsorption.

Vitamin K2
Directs calcium to bones and away from blood vessels.
The dosage is 100ug for each 10,000IU of Vitamin D3.

Magnesium Glycinate
Most people are deficient in this.
About 400mg per day is suitable, 3x 133mg capsules spread through the day.

Potassium
Most people are deficient and it's almost impossible to get just from food.
Supplement tablets are limited to 100mg because bigger can harm your stomach.
The easiest and cheapest solution is Potassium Chloride, salt.
Just sprinkle it on your food. Because it's mixed with food it's safe.
The RDA and SDA is 4700mg per day in food and salt.
1/4 tsp = 726mg of potassium, so about 1/2 tsp on two meals.

Sodium
Yet more misinformation thats been spread.
Your body needs electrolytes sodium and potassium.
You need half the amount of sodium as potassium.
So if you use 1/2 tsp of potassium chloride sprinkled on food a day, you need 1/4 tsp of sodium chloride as well. This assumes you don't eat processed food with loads of hidden sodium chloride.

Selenium
The RDA is a ridiculous 55mcg.
The SDA is 200mcg.
The upper limit is 400mcg.
A complex with 3x forms is best as the body needs all 3.
15ugram per egg, on average.
60ugrams in 4x eggs.
About 50ug in a tin of sardines.

Iodine
This is the most important and most wrongly missed.
Most people are severely deficient. The cause of many thyroid problems.
The RDA is a completely ridiculous 150mcg. Chosen to be enough to avoid goiters. Hardly a healthy level.
The SDA is 2.5mg (1× drop of 2% lugols) initial dose up to about 10× drops per day (25mg per day), 5x drops for breakfast, 5x drops for dinner.
Dropped into 100ml or more of water, or other drink.
Selenium supplement is necessary, sometimes also Vit B6.

Thyroid Conditions

L. Reuteri "Yoghurt"

You need a container of L.Reuteri capsules.
It's important that each capsule contains 10 or more billion bacteria.
iHerb Vitamatic 60 capsules
You need a packet of Inulin which is a powder the bacteria feeds on.
iHerb Inulin 500g

You need 1L of whole fat milk.
You need 1L of full fat cream.
To make 50 and 50, stir equal quantities of the two.

All utensils must be sterilized, by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
Avoid utensils with crevices that can harbor dirt.
Cleanliness is vital because fermentation is long and at 37.8 deg C.

It's easiest to do all stirring in the 2L glass Luvele glass container.
Gently stir the contents of one capsule with 1 tablespoon of Inulin.
Stir in a tablespoon of milk.
Stir in the rest of the milk and cream.

Put lid on jar.
Fill base of Luvele yoghurt maker with cold water, up to line.
Put lid on.
Ferment for 36 hours at 37.8 deg C.

Refrigerate for 6 hours.

Eat 2 tablespoons each day.

Start to feel better after 7 days.

Say thank you to Dr William Davis MD a wonderful Dr who is dedicated to helping people.
